Mac OS X - Texture keep increasing the more I advance in the Level
|
Hi,
This is an odd bug that we have on the Mac version of our game. Using the OpenGL Driver Monitor available on Mac, we see the number of textures and VRam used increasing the more we advance in the Level. If we go back, the number stop... |

Homework questions, why are they taboo?

Hi,
I've read a couple posts from students asking homework questions. I am wondering why the general trend here is to not answer those questions.
The point of an homework is to do research. I consider that asking a question on a game devel... |

xfire killing my game's performance
|
Hi all,
we had a couple of users reporting that their game is lagging a lot. But other games like TF2/Crisis run smoothly. We found that strange, because our game is lighter than those.
We finally found out that it's xfire causing this. When xf... |

Discussing my slow pace MMO network design

(I posted that in someone Else's thread, and figured out I should create a new thread to discuss it)
I am in the process of making a small MMO, in the style of ogame but a bit more real time and in DX. Nothing to big, and actions are slow. In... |

Content pipeline in games like Tomb Raider and cie

Hi Guys,
I'm a 3D engine/tools programmer.
I never posted in that section. It is maybe a technical question, but I think it is more a art section since it's about art content.
In recent games like Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed or Halo3. Maps... |

Can we draft a post or thread before putting on the server proper?
|
So basically, what you want is a draft system like GMail has. That would be too complex to integrate to gamedev I think.
Sorry for the stupid notepad answer, I don't even do it that way. I personally use gmail. I save as a draft, with no destinati... |

Auto LOD generation
|
Batch objects using same material, and spend time on occlusion culling before getting yourself into this. Unless of course, you already have occlusion culling, and assuming it is fast enough.

How to make the player fire bullets
|
No, your bullet Entity behaves like a bullet. The entityManager only creates then and manage them (update, render).
The bullet knows what to do and how to do it. |

@Daivuk Thanks for the reply. Would you mind explaining why this is more beneficial over say just doing this without entity manager? Also is this some type of paradigm? I've seen people use this xxxManager but I'm... |

How to make the player fire bullets

Without entering into too deep details because I would have to write pages or code here, I would create an EntityManager that reside in your world class or level class. The EntityManager is responsible for handling entity stuff. Like updating all ent... |

How to make the player fire bullets

Well what you can have, is a service that the player can know about.
ProjectileService->SpawnBullet(position, velocity, this);
And that service knows how to register into the renderer or physic.
I would personally use an EntityManager. An... |

MineCraft - Real-time Path Traced

Things don't have to be capped to 128 units height as Notch implemented. I am using an Octree for my stuff. You can dynamically add new patches up or down as you progress, and regen what's there. My guess with minecraft, is that Notch is literally al... |

I am also a fan of minecraft. I started an experiment in XNA for optimized mesh rendering also. I am also optimizing the mesh, but in patches of 16x16x16 voxel. Meaning that if you modify, you only have to recompute one patch.... |
